Kenya — Silly poems for your backpack

Two other guests.

Welcome to the Blueline Hotel,
The first impressions are easy to tell,
Basic rooms that do the trick,
Walls so thin, definitely not brick.

The bed is cosy, and kept safe by a net,
Hot shower on demand, and also a toilet.
A door that locks, and a porch too,
If you’re lucky, you’ll get a wonderful view.

But what’s important isn’t actually the style,
More importantly everything, comes with a smile,
Service is friendly and when you need,
It felt bad to say when it was time to feed.

And when I say feed, I mean fill you right up,
Portions seem to grow, when you say that’s enough.
They want to ensure, that everyone is pleased,
Therefore the stomach is the first to be appeased.

Substance beats style, quite frankly hands down,
Peace and quiet here, as you’re out of town,
With cows, chickens and goats just out back,
And plenty of farms line the dirt track.
